Zusatztext "One of the most important strengths I noticed after reading Chapter 1 was the detailed description about the different kinds of heat exchangers. This kind of description is ideal for students and industry professionals. ... Looking at the contents and title! the author has made efforts to cover all aspects of heat exchanger design related to concepts! materials! geometry! fabrication! quality control and maintenance. ?. I found it extremely useful as a design reference guide for industry professionals or course text book for engineering students."--Rajeev Madazhy! Engineering Manager! Taper-Lok! Sugar Land! Texas! USA"This book succinctly summarizes the essential information needed for thermal-hydraulic design/rating of heat exchangers. The author has done a most credible job of sifting through the vast body of work in the applied heat transfer literature to produce a lucid reference document."--Dr. Kris Singh! Chief Technology Officer! Holtec International! Marlton! NJ Informationen zum Autor Thulukkanam Kuppan works for the Indian Railway Service of Mechanical Engineers, and is based in Chennai, India. He is author of the successful Heat Exchanger Design Handbook, First Edition published by Marcel-Dekker (now CRC Press) in 2000. Kuppan is a noted authority in the area of heat exchangers, pressure vessels, and railway technologies. He has years of practical experience through his work with the Indian Railways, and is well-known in industry and academia in South Asia. Klappentext This comprehensive reference covers all the important aspects of heat exchangers (HEs): design and modes of operation and practical, large-scale applications in process, power, petroleum, transport, air conditioning, refrigeration, cryogenics, heat recovery, energy, and other industries. It includes over 400 drawings, diagrams, tables, and equations, making it a great resource for mechanical, chemical, and petrochemical engineers; process equipment and pressure vessel designers; and upper-level undergraduate and graduate students. This second edition includes updated material throughout; coverage of the latest advances in HE design techniques; expanded and updated coverage of materials selection; and a look at the newest fabrication techniques. Zusammenfassung Completely revised and updated to reflect current advances in heat exchanger technology, Heat Exchanger Design Handbook, Second Edition includes enhanced figures and thermal effectiveness charts, tables, new chapter, and additional topics––all while keeping the qualities that made the first edition a centerpiece of information for practicing engineers, research, engineers, academicians, designers, and manufacturers involved in heat exchange between two or more fluids. See What’s New in the Second Edition: Updated information on pressure vessel codes, manufacturer’s association standards A new chapter on heat exchanger installation, operation, and maintenance practices Classification chapter now includes coverage of scrapped surface-, graphite-, coil wound-, microscale-, and printed circuit heat exchangers Thorough revision of fabrication of shell and tube heat exchangers, heat transfer augmentation methods, fouling control concepts and inclusion of recent advances in PHEs New topics like EMbaffle®, Helixchanger®, and Twistedtube® heat exchanger, feedwater heater, steam surface condenser, rotary regenerators for HVAC applications, CAB brazing and cupro-braze radiators Without proper heat exchanger design, efficiency of cooling/heating system of plants and machineries, industrial processes and energy system can be compromised, and energy wasted. This thoroughly revised handbook offers comprehensive coverage of single-phase heat exchangers—selection, thermal design, mechanical design, corrosion and foul...
